External Mini SAS HD Cable

The Vszerda cable connects an SFF-8644 port to an SFF-8643 port on servers and RAID enclosures. It is built for administrators who need a direct external link between compatible controllers and storage shelves. The 3.3 foot length suits rack-to-rack or shelf-to-controller runs. Male-to-male terminals mate with standard Mini SAS HD receptacles.

Capacity and headroom

The link is rated for SAS 3.0 at 6Gbps, so each lane delivers up to six gigabits per second of raw bandwidth. Actual throughput depends on the capabilities of the connected controller and backplane. The cable does not add protocol overhead beyond the SAS 3.0 specification. It cannot serve ports that require a different connector keying or a higher signalling rate.

Thermals noise and power

Passive copper construction means no active cooling, no fan noise and no external power draw. The assembly adds negligible heat to the rack environment. Signal integrity is maintained over the 1-meter span without equalisation. The cable is a passive component that does not affect the thermal budget of the attached devices.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8644 end connect to my older SAS 2.0 HBA?

The cable is SAS 3.0 compliant and will link at the highest speed both ends support; actual throughput is limited by the slower device.

How do I verify the 6Gbps link is active after plugging it in?

Check the HBA or RAID controller BIOS and OS utilities for a negotiated 6Gbps link on each SFF-8643 and SFF-8644 port.

Does the box include any brackets or screws for the SFF-8643 bulkhead?

Only the 3.3ft male-to-male cable is supplied; mounting hardware for the SFF-8643 bulkhead must be sourced separately.
